Bullet Points:
- Composed a scene in Unreal Engine 5, lit using Lumen.
- Utilized FluidNinja VFX tools to create volumetric fog effects throughout scene.
Full description
This project was created as an experimentation of UE5’s Lumen technology, with the only real goal being to see the capabilities of Lumen and how to set up a project to use it.
I initially began by blocking out a large-scale level, to be set aboard a space station. However, when I began placing the assets inside of what I called the ‘rock room’ I fell in love with the aesthetic and decided to focus all my efforts on making one good looking scene.
For the background of the scene, I recreated the space distance mesh from Nocturne station, while the rock assets inside of the scene were taken from Quixel internally to UE5.
For the volumetric fog throughout the level, I utilized FluidNinja VFX tools to create a light ‘creeping’ fog in the lower, recessed area around the central rock, and around a vent system on the second floor.
